The restaurant of the hotel Palacio Doña Leonor, just off the central plaza in Antigua, Guatemala, is simply wonderful - I highly recommend both the hotel and the restaurant. (A what a beautiful hotel!). A very impressive wine list (which includes some of my favorite Argentine Malbecs) begins the evening followed by a most impressive menu for dinner. Each dish... More

The food is great, the main dinning room has this beautiful fire place which they fired up when we arrived, this used to be an old colonial house now a great restaurant. Sometimes they have Julio and Cesar playing guitars, they are very skilled musicians.

I looked into this beautifully restored palace (the best hotel in town) and assumed the restaurant was out of my price range. Maybe I could go once at the end of my stay. The menu was alluring. If the food lived up to the descriptions, this was going to be haute cuisine. Then with some astonishment I saw that the... More

At lunch a filet mignon sandwich and a club sandwich of chicken, ham, salad, nuts and warm grapes were both very good. The lovely planted courtyard is peaceful and cool. The restaurant and courtyard really come into their own in the evening with soft lighting. Excellent duck in a port wine sauce and a truly superb roulade of pork stuffed... More

I have been to Antigua a number of times but I had never tried the restaurant at Palacio de Doña Leonor Antigua. I had lunch there one Sunday. The setting was very charming. Pretty garden. Tables with white table clothes. Flowers and orange trees. The staff was very friendly. Every staff member greeted me when they first encountered. The food... More

The menu is very nice, inventive, with an effort to sever fresh, local, organic produce. However, they do not always put in the plate what is described on the menu. But it is a high class, wonderful place to go to for a romantic dinner. The French-style garden in the middle is well kept, the staff is very attentive, the... More

.... for the second year round, I went there every other day for my two weeks stay in Antigua for breakfast and several times for lunch as well. The location is breathtaking when you have breakfast in the quiet lush courtyard. The food is simply excellent and they start you off with homemade banana bread. The staff is wonderful and... More
